Qualification update

OCR is currently reforming its GCSEs, AS and A Levels in line with the government programme of reform. However, on 3 November 2015 the DfE announced that development of reformed GCSE, AS and A Level ICT qualifications would cease due to similar content to the reformed GCSE (9-1), AS and A Levels in Computer Science. Our new GCSE (9-1) Computer Science qualification has been developed for first teaching from September 2016. To find out more visit our new qualification page below.

Working in partnership with teachers and other key stakeholders in the ICT teaching community, we've carefully developed this qualification to motivate learners. The specification, support materials and publisher resources provide you with everything you need to teach with confidence.

Benefits

All examined units can be assessed through computer-based or paper-based options

Refined marking criteria ensures your learners get recognition for their work

The qualification is accessible for a wide range of learner abilities

It's been developed to create a stepping stone to A Level ICT and further education.
